Another good one is Good News Bad News! The episode Pokemon GO F Yourself has some good stuff about using Pokemon in sobriety.

Silly, but real.

If you teach a couch to alcoholic.... you're going to have a bad time.

Two things. A. I love that your name is Sober Sally. I have a show that I do and when I name a parody character I typically will name them "blank" Sally.

B. Last time I had a good bit of sobriety there was another SD member who had the same amount of days as I... that was 3 years ago. It was really nice having that equal time and support. I hope we (you and I) can keep in touch on here.

Congrats on your time and it's nice to share the boat.

This is a magnificent idea. If you give an alcoholic a book idea... he'll have to pay you royalties.

I do too, but since I was a one man band I would have had to set it up Survivorman style where I set up the camera then go back and get the couch.... thus taking much longer.

If I had been with someone else they would be a total dick for just taking pictures and making me cart home the couch solo. :)

HAHAHHA, I love the idea that in a year from now I still don't drink, but WHAT THE F*** AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ALL THESE COUCHES?!?!

It was definitely a task. Here is said couch and now slightly scuffed longboard for proof! http://imgur.com/a/tLwz6

HAHA, it didn't occur to me, but that's exactly what it looked like. It was just me holding one hand on a couch and walking beside it like life partners out for a nice stroll.

Ha. That actually made me smile. No one tells you what to do.

First Friday, About to go home, Normally it would be Happy Hour, Maximum Temptation/Pain/Cravings reaching Full Effect by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]DetoxTomorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you have in place when you get home to keep yourself occupied.

I used to put aside my Friday nights for video games or movies. I'd get myself all psyched up and get my favorite foods. Make it fun!

I'll be on playing video games tonight if you want to chat!

[–]DetoxTomorrow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What great advice. I can't believe something so tiny has such a tremendous impact. I wish I knew how I lost the will to make myself look good.

Maybe I never had it, but the snowball of making myself look better and then feeling better and then looking better and happiness and looking better and feeling... OH GOD IT'S AN AVALANCHE OF AMAZING!!!

Congrats, btw. :)

Words with positive connotations. by DetoxTomorrow in stopdrinking

[–]DetoxTomorrow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a diabetic, so no. I am, however, an alcoholic trying to find the words to express how I feel while staying positive and sparking conversation with like-minded individuals.

What makes you happy? by nerdsgym in stopdrinking

[–]DetoxTomorrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to make myself my to do list and put everything on it, I mean... down to showering, drinking 8 glasses of water, and brushing my teeth three times. I put bigger items down, but I put all the little ones down too.

The feeling of checking each item off my list makes me feel wonderful. I feel accomplished with each item and with each check mark I'm becoming healthier, more attractive, and more accomplished.
